STRANGE VOYAGE

Paquita and her brother Venancio, both single and childish, live in a small town near Madrid. Their bossy eldest sister Ignacia, also an old maid, dominates them.

Part murder mystery, part dark satire of the Franco regime, Fernando Fernán Gómez’s classic drama shows how modernity—represented by the sexy, snaking twist—wreaks havoc on a provincial Spanish town. Based on a real-life murder in ’60s Murcia, the film starred exploitation filmmaker Jess Franco.
